Abstract
An analytical approach is presented for the study of magnetization dynamics driven by spin-polarized currents. Two cases are considered: (i) magnetic layers with in-plane uniaxial anisotropy; (ii) magnetic layers with uniaxial anisotropy and applied field perpendicular to the layer plane. Theoretical predictions are obtained for the existence of stationary modes and self-oscillations of magnetization by solving the deterministic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with Slonczewski spin-torque term. Thermal fluctuations are studied by deriving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for the magnetization probability distribution. Analytical procedures to estimate the effective potential barrier separating self-oscillatory regimes and/or stationary modes are proposed.
